The perfect Venice bungalow, near the beach and Abbot Kinney

This 2 bedroom, 3 bathroom traditional cottage seamlessly blends authentic character — original 1907 hardwood floors, pocket doors, and built-in shelves — with modern updates, including the gorgeously remodeled kitchen with subway tiles, Viking range and farmhouse sink. Large windows and skylights flood the home with natural light. Outside, recline on redwood benches around the gas firepit, or lounge on the front or back porch, tall bamboo and fences affording complete privacy. One gated parking space off the alley. Three doors from Abbot Kinney Blvd and its restaurants, and only 1.5 blocks from the beach: an unbeatable location for the best of Venice.
